I have purchased several Craftsy classes, but when I found the first one by Kimberley Einmo, I bought everyone she had! She is such a kind talented lady who explains everything so well and answers class questions promptly. Hope that she does many more. Wendy from Western Australia

If you have a question just ask and she responds. She really goes above and beyond the call of duty.SueNorthern New York
